You're absolutely right ! This is the camera I have been waiting for. I started with the NEX-5 then moved on to the A6000 and a6300 when they came out. Since then I stuck with the a6300 because the newer Sony APSC cameras always were too small an upgrade to make it worth my while. This camera seems to have it all and would be a major upgrade to my a6300 in almost every respect. Will definitely be getting it and upgrading some of my lenses as well. As someone who had no intention of going full frame I had almost given up hope ... Halleluja ! Now investing more in my APS-C setup makes sense again !

Went from a6400 to a7C because I wanted a fully articulating screen and the best dynamic range. The dynamic range improvements weren't as vast as I had hoped and I ended up missing all my small lenses, so I'm going back to APS-C with this camera now that it has a fully articulating screen and best-in-class AF. I'm glad I procrastinated in selling all my APS-C gear!

I just recently bought an A7C and it is within the allowed return period in amazon. Would you say this is a better camera for photography?… I also have a few prime FE lenses would they work well if I get this APS-C camera?.. The MSRP is $1,399 so its even cheaper than the A7C
@trogdor 10 ай бұрын
The A7C shouldn’t be the benchmark for FF dynamic range. It rehouses the old A7III sensor. The newer generation sensors (everything since the A7SIII release, excluding the re-releases of the A7RIII/IV) are much better.
@rickbiessman6084 10 ай бұрын
@@trogdor "much better"? I’ve wondered about that. According to DXOmark measurements, the improvements in dynamic range since the A7III are so small that in my opinion they shouldn’t matter in practical applications. A third of a stop may sound like a lot, but will you actually notice? In my opinion, no. Unless maybe we’re talking about video - can’t really comment on that tbh.
@rickbiessman6084 10 ай бұрын
I’m in a similar place. I upgraded from an a6300 (which I still really like!) to an A7C for better low light performance. I’ve since discovered a host of genius features that I use all the time. But APS-C systems are still smaller. I did sell my APS-C lenses, and now I’m wondering whether the a6700 would have been the better camera for me. But then again, my reason for FF was low light and while the a6700 is probably one of the best low light APS-C cameras on the market, it still doesn’t reach FF levels. The video specs are fantastic, but currently I don’t need them because HLG happens to fit my bill really well. I think it really depends on one’s individual needs, but the a6700 seems to be a stellar camera in pretty much every department.

@@garretreed9709 May be. I have it but.. I don't know if I can recommend it. No stabilization, clunky menu, micro-usb / UHS-1 SD speed so a raw burst takes ages to write and so forth. I still love it, and it's my 2nd camera after the a5000 but I admit that I was a newb back then and youtube vloggers oversold the camera for what it is. My biggest remark - but this pertains to any Sony APS-C is the poor native lens lineup. Either mediocre or premium priced but beaten by Sigma and Tamron, which don't have lens stabilization. Just my two cents, because I wish I payed more attention to these things when making the decision. Whatever you buy if it's newer than say 2018-2019 you can't really go wrong, I'm mostly nitpicing here :) As a reference, started out as a street and landscape hobby, now I use it for events (mostly at night!), product photography and interior/architecture photography (the Laowa 9mm f2.8 is a fantastic lens for this)

My A6600 was with me for 4 years with no problems, even after at least 2 drops, until it was stolen 6 months ago. I've been waiting, waiting, and waiting to buy another camera anticipating that SONY would FINALLY release an upgrade to the 6600. What people do not get, is that SIZE and WEIGHT MATTER!!! It's NOT just the small body size (it's tiny compared to many full frames) but also, the zoom lenses are equally small :). I DO plan on buying this camera soon, along with the sony 18-135mm and sony 70-350mm lenses. This whole camera bundle is still so tiny that it easily fits into the Altura Photo Camera Sling Bag.

What surprised me is that high ISO performance is worse than the A6600 when compared side by side on DP Review's studio comparison charts. But the AI features, especially tracking focus in video, does seem pretty cool! Not quite useful to me as a professional photographer, but still seems fun to play with.

After years watching the price on the A6600 I ordered one in May 2022. I also have a Nex 7. The improved battery life, the ability to record longer videos and not over heating and at 4K. I still use the Nex 7 for the built in flash for fill in with macro photography and being much smaller is easier to handle. I paid 1249 GBP for the body, UK price for the A6700 to be 1449GBP including 20% VAT.

Thanks for the great review! Appreciate your takes and mindset which is similar to my own. Been staying disciplined to not jump on the 6600 due to price and so many innovations that have happened since. Still concerned about overheating and I’ll be shocked if it’s under $1500. Would love to see more footage and photos from your use with it. Thanks again :)

Thanks for the review. Yes, I'll be buying this camera. I have the a6500 and I still use it nearly every day for both work and personal projects. I'm a landscape designer so I do garden photography and recording of general site conditions. I have a simple set of APSC lenses (including the Sigma trio per your recommendations). I couldn't justify updating to the a6600 since there wasn't enough of an improvement, and the FX30 is missing critical stills camera features so I've had the a6500 for a long time now. But the a6700 has added so many things that will make a difference for me. Top of my list would have to be the articulating screen and the front control wheel. Of course the new sensor will be nice, and the improvements to focus (and in-camera focus bracketing). All the new video specs including improvements to rolling shutter will be great. Actually I'll really appreciate every new feature. I'm sticking with my Sony APSC setup and I don't plan on going full frame. Thanks again for all the helpful videos.

I've been using the A6600 (mostly for vlogging) for the past 2 years and the biggest disappointment has been the in-camera stabilization (lens E 2.8 G 16-55 G) contributed to by my shaky hands. (I did buy a gimbal but never use it). IF the stabilization is significantly improved on this then it is extremely tempting to upgrade from the A6600. Awesome review, thanks.
@ArthurR 10 ай бұрын
It’s improved, and it has active (electronic) stabilization. But it’s not like the 8-stop stabilization of the A7R5. That camera is incredibly stable. This 6700 is WAY better handheld than the 6600.

Hey Arthur, I like your videos and thanks for adding in some of your personal humour as well. I am an amateur at all this. I own and love the A6000 that I have been using for years now and looking at purchasing an upgraded camera. I am thrilled about the A6700 but a little let down as I had hopped they would have included a built in flash. I know it is not the best option for a flash in all cases but it sure comes in handy when you suddenly find you need some fill light and sometimes I just don't want to walk around with the extra weight of the external flash around my neck. Thanks for your reviews they are very helpful. Vince

An update - I now own the A6700 and forget the negative reviews! The EVF is fine, the screen is more than fine, in fact with the touch functions it is actually magnificent. The image quality is superb and the AF is out of this world. I cannot make it miss focus on anything! It even picked up someone riding a motorbike wearing a helmet! I come from an A6400 and would consider this camera a MASSIVE upgrade. Ergonomically it feels like a proper camera you can hold with a proper grip. It's the camera I have been waiting for. There are so many other fine tweaks they have made which are too numerous for a comments column, but at the price it is definitely worth the upgrade!

@@DDHDTV I think so - not just the fact the AF is nailed every time, but there seems a certain higher level of clarity to my eye - I am converting the RAW to DNG first as there's no Adobe support yet, so there may be a slight increase to come. People are obsessed with megapixels, but the sensor is newer, it's an upgrade on the A6400 even if the resolution isn't much different

I have been waiting a long time to upgrade my a6400 and the a6700 sure looks like this is the one. I’m glad Sony waited until they developed more high end cameras where the technology could trickle down to this camera. If they had not waited this would have been a hoo hum upgrade of the a6600. Great job Sony. I like getting advanced technology cheap! I definitely will be getting the a6700 to complement my a7IV.

Even better AF which was already great in the a6400 is nice of course. The larger sensor, also nice. Menu and touch functionality is still behind the competition, no IBIS improvements, no dual card slots. Missed opportunity to improve those. Not that that is necessarily bad - but they could've done more. After 4 years it would have been enough time for a full redesign of the a6xxx series. That's the problem I've always had with Sony, they are good cameras - even one of the best in AF - but I feel they always hold back in certain areas. Not regretting my switch to G9 and GH6 though I wish those had Sony's AF. Then they would be perfect :-)

People whine too much about tech. Cameras are just tools. Imagine back then in 1985 film era(I was only around 6 years old then) Canon and Minolta users complaining about the menu system, or IBIS or Animal and Human Eye AF of the cameras they have posting rants in youtube...not. Photographers then were better with full manual exposure and AF, and some would be happy to have a roll of film with at least 400 ASA/ISO or even 800. We are too spoiled right now but I respect the photographers back then in the 70s 80s the National Geographic magazines I have from those time the photos were amazing.

Its looking like my next camera for sure.

A6000 user here and seriously considering the a6700. When we went mirrorless with the a6000 we did so because of size. Smaller lenses with an APS-C sensor but the flexibility of interchangeable lenses. I’ve kinda felt disappointed in the APS-C lineup over the past years as the tech didn’t really seem to be improving much. I know megapixels are not everything, but you’d think that there would be a decent resolution jump in the sensors over the last decade. I like the idea of the APS-C because of the compactness compared to full frame cameras but still the same flexibility. The lack of a significant sensor resolution jump is the biggest disappointment; however, the A6700 is high on our radar to consider the upgrade.
